What burdens do you have right now? Does the Christmas season wear you down with all the decorating, family gatherings, missing loved ones, gift purchases, and Christmas cards? I know I feel way behind this year on what I “need” to do.
We don’t have to
feel burdened. Jesus calls us to come to Him to find rest. It may include
physical rest, but more importantly He offers spiritual rest and most
importantly He promises eternal rest for our souls!
Matthew 11:28-30 28 “Come to
me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and
learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest
for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my
burden is light.”
As believers, we
are yoked with Jesus. We can let Him do the driving. He knows where He wants us
to go and how best to get there. He can also help us know what things on our
plate we can cut out!
How will you and
I take our burdens to Jesus this week? Then, let’s listen to and learn from Him
to experience true rest this season!
